Zebrafish SLC4A1 Antibody / SLC4A1A Antibody is useful for studying Solute Carrier Family 4 Member 1A (SLC4A1A), a membrane transport protein that functions as a chloride/bicarbonate exchanger and plays an essential role in erythrocyte physiology. SLC4A1A belongs to the SLC4 family of bicarbonate transporters and facilitates the exchange of chloride and bicarbonate ions across the plasma membrane. Through this activity, SLC4A1A contributes to carbon dioxide transport, acid-base regulation, and maintenance of cellular ionic balance.
SLC4A1A is the zebrafish ortholog of human SLC4A1, also known as Anion Exchange Protein 1 (AE1) or Band 3. In vertebrates, SLC4A1 proteins are among the most abundant membrane proteins in erythrocytes and are critical for efficient respiratory gas transport. By exchanging bicarbonate and chloride ions, SLC4A1A supports the movement of carbon dioxide between tissues and the circulation while helping maintain physiologic pH balance.
In zebrafish, SLC4A1A expression is closely associated with erythroid cell populations, hematopoietic tissues, and developing blood cells. Proper erythrocyte function is essential for oxygen delivery, carbon dioxide transport, and maintenance of circulatory homeostasis during development and adulthood. Analysis of SLC4A1A expression can therefore provide insight into erythropoiesis, red blood cell maturation, membrane transport biology, and hematopoietic development.
Beyond its role in ion transport, SLC4A1A contributes to erythrocyte membrane organization and structural integrity through interactions with cytoskeletal and membrane-associated proteins. These functions help maintain normal red blood cell morphology and mechanical stability while supporting efficient circulation throughout the vascular system. As a result, SLC4A1A is frequently studied in investigations of erythrocyte biology, membrane transport mechanisms, and blood cell development.
Zebrafish has become a valuable model for studying hematopoiesis because many pathways involved in blood cell formation, erythroid differentiation, and membrane transport are highly conserved among vertebrates. The optical transparency of zebrafish embryos allows direct observation of blood development and circulation, while genetic accessibility enables detailed investigation of genes involved in erythrocyte physiology and vascular biology.
Zebrafish SLC4A1 antibodies are commonly used in immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, western blotting, and related protein detection applications to evaluate SLC4A1A expression and localization. These reagents support investigations of erythropoiesis, erythrocyte membrane biology, bicarbonate transport, acid-base regulation, hematopoietic development, respiratory physiology, and vertebrate circulatory system function.

This Zebrafish antibody is part of a broader Zebrafish / Danio rerio antibody panel offered by NSJ Bioreagents.
The optimal working dilution of the Zebrafish SLC4A1 Antibody / SLC4A1A Antibody should be determined empirically by the investigator.
An E.coli-derived Zebrafish SLC4A1A recombinant protein (amino acids M1-T579) was used as the immunogen for the Zebrafish SLC4A1A Antibody.
After reconstitution, the Zebrafish SLC4A1A Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
